PORT ST. JOHN, Fla. -- A 56-year-old Florida Power and Light meter reader is in critical condition after being attacked by several pit bull dogs as she walked through a Brevard County, Fla. neighborhood, according to Local 6 News.
Police said that the woman was mauled by the dogs in the 7000 block of Amsbury Road at about 8 a.m.
Animal Control officials believe the dogs apparently jumped a 4-foot fence at a home in the neighborhood and then began biting her head.
The victim was able to somehow break free from the dogs and ran to her truck, Local 6 News reported. She drove away from the scene but eventually stopped a short time later, got out of the truck and began to scream.
Joe Fisher saw her and administered first aid.
"I didn't want to lay her down because when I pulled her hair back on one side, her ear was completely missing and it was dangling in what hair she had left," Fisher said.
Local 6 News reported that the woman lost her right ear and a large piece of her scalp.
She was transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center in critical condition, according to Local 6 News.
The apparent owner of the dog has received about $650 in fines in connection with the incident, according to the report.
